iPod Bed

This bed can play you a lullaby while you go to sleep, a rockin' track to wake you up, and even some sexy music when the mood is on.

No, it's not magic, it's the The Pause Bed. The built-in bedside shelves have an optional iPod dock and speaker system, so you can play all your favourite music and charge your ipod without bothering to get out of bed.

Obviously designed by one laaaaazy mutha.

Another unique thing about this bed is that the manufacturer plants a New Zealand native tree for every bed sold. Aaaaw.

Scientists urge us to stay in Bed

Scientists at the University of Colorado have found that short-term memory, counting skills and cognitive abilities are impaired in the groggy first moments of consciousness, known as "sleep inertia." In fact, the study says, people newly awakened perform as badly as or even worse than if they were drunk.

The experiment was validated only this morning, when we lurched out of bed and proceeded to cut ourselves shaving and burn our finger on the toaster.

According to the researchers, sleep inertia should be treated seriously for how it impairs thinking and memory skills - and the implications for doctors, firefighters and other staff roused straight into action upon getting out of their lovely warm beds.
